TEDxIIT Delivered Gaining Momentum
TEDxIIT did it.
What an awesome event on Sat, April 13, 2012. Amazing speakers shared ideas worth spreading. Devoted committee chairs demonstrated great leadership skills. Generous volunteers helped whatever it took. The fabulous live audience applauded with standing ovation, along with the virtual audience worldwide cheered all the way. And the social media fans twitted and re-twitted #TEDxIIT.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
In the spirit of TED and IIT, many voices, one conversation. We played, laughed, learned, shared and connected.
The speakers were: Tanya Cabera (staff), Marc Hans (alum), Muhammed Fazeel (student at large), Leo Xiangyu Liu (student), Joseph Claie (alum), Nityananda Pran Das, (community member), Daniya Kamran, (student), James H. Stone (faculty), Debbie Vyskocil (alum), Onye Ozuzu (guest-lecturer) and Tom Tresser (faculty). The spectrum ranged from young students to seasoned business leader, all with ideas to share. More on TEDxIIT.com.
They brought us with diverse experience and ethnic background. Same demographic applied to the attendees: students, alumni, members of faculty, staff and community. There were ideas for our mind, body and soul. Issues covering the immigration, education, innovation, creativity, energy and community.
Their ideas are gaining momentum.
TEDxIIT is also gaining momentum.

Time Flies with Wifi on Southwest
Southwest gets it. Customers first. Not only did they try their best to entertain the passengers with
jokes, songs and dance, now they allow the passengers to entertain
ourselves!!! What a concept. With wifi on board, there is no boring flights. Time "flies." A perfect solution for techies, even for those just need to catch up
emails. We choose our own TED Talks to watch. Some play silly games. Only for $5 during my entire flight to Seattle/Tacoma. I have to get this out to the universe. Send from iPad2, on flight Southwest.

World Champion The Validator Validates
In 2005, Lance Miller won the World Champion of Public Speaking with his speech, titled, The Validator.
The concept flows thru the universe.
Here is a short story based on the concept.
ABZ question:
Are you a validator?
Have you validated those who are closest to you? Like a family member and people you work with?
Are you willing to be a validator, at least once?

Colonel Jill Morgenthaler Speaks on Leadership Tips
Do you have a stereotype image of a US Army Colonel? A lady Colonel, especially?
Come and meet Ret. Col. Jill, a funny, charming and witty keynote speaker, on Saturday, Dec 3, 2011. This is part of the Skinless Project, featuring the Power Night. General admission is $15. Students $10. Free admission for veterans with ID.
An evening with Col. Jill Morgenthaler, with storytelling, war stories, laughter and leadership tips. Fun and “Ah ha!” moments.
As one of the first women to train as an equal with men in combat situations, the Colonel taps her unique experiences to help us soar and not stagnate. As a gifted storyteller, she takes us with her to boot camp, to Bosnia, and to her famous face-off with Saddam Hussein, so each of us discovers better ways to be better leaders.
Many of us have a stereotypical idea of what a decorated war hero and Colonel is. What we don't imagine is Colonel Jill Morgenthaler. She is a complex woman who is a war hero, raised a family, has been the top executive for homeland security in Illinois, ran for US Congress and has spent her life saving lives. When you meet the Colonel, you will be struck by her strength, femininity, confidence and compassion.

Meiley-Swallow Theater

Naperville, IL
Colonel (Ret.) Jill Morgenthaler
Jill Morgenthaler, Inc. "CJMI"
ABZ question: What lessons could you learn from one of the first lady colonel who was trained as an equal with men?

Flip Flip Again
Half price for a neat handy camcord.
Earlier this year, Cisco purchased Flip to retire this popular video camera.
Not sure if they slash the price to clear the inventory or it's a new marketing strategy. Perhaps due to popular demands. In any event, this device is a one-task-master.
ABZ question:
Have you Flipped yourself lately? Do you know how you present to the rest of the world? Flip and find out.
